I don't think there is anything special about it.  It may be what some people call a "Black Beauty" that was the result of an unusually dark color to the alloy.  I don't see anything that could be called a mint error.  Ignore the odd appearance of the "rims", this is in a PCGS unsert of the soft silicone variety that often wraps over and hides the rims of the coin. The overwrap can make it look like damage of cudding on the "rims".

Thanks for your assessment.. I will wait until a few more people attempt this quiz before I reveal the answer. This coin is graded and encapsulated by ANACS.
